Nope the free version does not support the D200.
Adobe Camera Raw 3.3 does so that allows PSE3 and 4 and PS CS2 at
least. Then there's the latest version of Nikon Capture.

I like Bibble from http://bibblelabs.com/
I don't have a D200 yet, but it does work great with my D2x. Bibble
was one of the first to support the D200.

if you have a Mac check out Graphic ConverterX V5.7.5, 30USD shareware
and may have come bundled with a recent Mac so you can try it out first.

Please forgive this dumb question but if you open it in Photoshop or
Capture or NX cant you then save it in what ever format you want, why
buy software that converts ? Or did I misunderstand and software like
bible are a cheaper solution than photoshop ???

Nikon Capture NX can save an edited file as a NEF file. PhotoShop and
any other photo editor can not save as NEF. Also Capture NX will handle
NEF files better than other programs.

Thanks George. I purchased NX today, and already own Capture 4.4
thanks for the update. Would seem that most then would prefer to use
NX to work on the file and only use Photoshop when they are happy and
ready to perhaps move the photo to lets say JPG. Thanks for your
explanation.

Here is a link to a comparison of various programs that can process
Nikon RAW files.
http://www.nikonians.org/dcforum/DCForumID36/16777.html
It shows why one would use more than one image processor.

Great link, before I read all these. Why does the Nikon capture look
so much better than Bibble ? what a difference.

The programers Nikon uses need only optimize their code for the Nikon
products and have access to the Nikon enginers while the programers for
the 3rd party products have to code for many more cameras and only have
access to the System Development Disk, SDK, routines and documentation.
Which means the Nikon programers can produce a better product.
